This is an old one, but I found it ALMOST useful. I'd like to take this one
step further:
I have a subscribe statement on a service that requires a file. And, now I have
the error on the non-existent file, it is still trying to run the service. I
have tried every possible way to bypass this, even with an exec (file not
found). Since the exec statement itself is "successful" (in not finding the
file), it sill launches the service dependent on that file.
Finally, I really don't want errors to go to the client syslog... that is the
whole reason why I want to do the checking first. To avoid errors in syslog
when the service fails (for reason of a lacking patch... another issue: how to
work with patching "if grep for patch; exists/not exists; optional run"). I'll
keep looking but this lack of conditional services is painful.
file {'clientxml':
path => "/var/svc/manifest/network/sendmail-client.xml",
ensure => true,
backup => false,
noop => true,
loglevel => err,
}
service { "clientmail":
name => "sendmail-client:default",
manifest => "/var/svc/manifest/network/sendmail-client.xml",
provider => smf,
enable => true,
hasrestart => true,
require => File['clientxml']
}
